Hand-Picked Holiday Cottages in Cornwall

Welcome to our listing site where you'll find a considered collection of cottages along the Cornish coast and countryside.

Cornwall, curated.

We don’t list every cottage in Cornwall. We list the ones we’d book ourselves.

Each property in our collection is approved by us before it joins.

You’ll find handsome holiday cottages in Cornwall on plenty of bigger sites. What you’ll find here is a smaller, more deliberate selection — places we know first-hand, set across our favourite corners of Cornwall, from the harbour towns of the north coast to the wooded creeks of the Roseland.

If it doesn’t earn a place in the collection, it’s not in the collection.

Browse by what matters

Travelling with a dog. Bringing the family. Wanting a hot tub at the end of the coast path. Find your shortlist by the things that actually shape a stay.

Dog Friendly

Dog Friendly

The coast path is yours, the pub has a doggy bowl waiting, and the beach is their playground. Cornwall takes you and your dogs seriously.

 Hot Tubs & Pools

Hot Tubs & Pools

Sea-view soaks at dusk or a refreshing swim as the Cornish sun rises. Over 100 cottages with hot tubs or pools, all personally checked.

 Sea Views

Sea Views

Wake up to the Atlantic. Lighthouses across the bay, St Michael's Mount across the water, the surf rolling in below.

 Large Holiday Homes

Large Holiday Homes

The whole family, the cousins, the friends you've meant to do this with for years. Browse our collection of cottages built for the group trip.

 Beach Retreats

Beach Retreats

Front door to sand in minutes. Outdoor showers, wetsuit pegs, sand-tolerant kitchens. Beach cottages, properly.

 Family-Friendly

Family-Friendly

Cornwall cottages for trips with young children — buckets at low tide, big kitchens, cots and gates where they're supplied.

 EV Charging

EV Charging

Cottages where the car charges on your schedule. Arrive low, leave full, skip the queue at the service station.

 Short Breaks

Short Breaks

Cornwall in three nights instead of seven. Midweek escapes, long weekends, last-minute trips when the forecast turns.

 October Half Term

October Half Term

Autumn settles in. The light turns gold, the surf comes back, and the dogs finally have every beach to themselves.

Featured Cottages

A handful of cottages we've personally visited — new arrivals, seasonal favourites, and the ones we keep recommending to friends.
